Chart View
(Conventional down looking)
The Sea Scout’s phased array transducer can be
electronically steered to look directly below the boat. In this
mode the Sea Scout LCD display will show a picture exactly
like conventional fixed beam down-looking fish finders.
When in this mode, the Sea Scout offers a full range of
sophisticated features which are found on advanced
conventional depth sounders, such as split screen zoom,
bottom lock, fish and depth alarms, bottom hardness (white-
line), plus several other features.
From the Command Center select the "CHART" View and
press the "GO" soft key to bring up the menu showing the
features and adjustments for this view. The display should be
similar to that at right.
Range Adjustment
Press the button labeled "RANGE" to bring up the Range
Adjustment soft key menu. Press the button labeled "AUTO"
if you would like the Sea Scout’s internal microprocessor to
automatically select and adjust the depth range as bottom
conditions change. To manually adjust the depth, press either
the range button labeled "" or "". If you make a manual
depth adjustment, the AUTO range mode is turned off and
will remain off until the button labeled AUTO is again
selected. Note: when in the AUTO mode, the soft key
labeled "AUTO" will be shown in reverse video (white on
black). To return to the main forward looking menu, press the
soft key labeled "LAST". (To return to the Control Center
press the soft key labeled "MENU")
Sensitivity Adjustment
Press the soft key labeled "SENS." to bring up the choices
available for adjusting the Sea Scout's receiver sensitivity.
Press the button labeled "AUTO" so that the word AUTO is
shown in reverse video (white letters on a black background)
if you would like the Sea Scout to automatically adjust its
sensitivity for changing conditions. To manually adjust the
sensitivity, press the button labeled “- Sens” or “Sens.+” to
increase or decrease the receiver gain. Note that the soft key
shows a number which indicates the relative sensitivity being
used (+1 to +32). When you choose to manually adjust the
sensitivity, the Sea Scout turns off the AUTO sensitivity
mode and it will remain off until the AUTO soft key is again
selected. Note: when AUTO mode is turned on, the word
will be displayed in reverse video (white letters on a black
background). To exit the sensitivity menu and save your
adjustments, simply press the soft key labeled “LAST” to
return to the main forward looking menu.
